Time to gloat.
Not sure if you meant it figuratively, but sugar beets are an important part of my canon, and the Greater Tohorin spinoff. Turns out that monopolizing the scramble for the Caribbean has adverse effects: namely, your rivals investing in other ways to obtain sugar earlier on...thus devaluing your plantation/indentured-servant based economy.

I don't know how geography school books are structured in other IRL countries, but they usually put sugar beet in the production of almost all countries (regardless of their continental area). So much so that here in Italy it has become a joke: are you questioned about geography about a particular country and you don't know what to say? Say that country produces sugar beets!

Sugar-beets. Sugar beets?! The political maps in textbooks here put a lot of emphasis in metal ores.

I wanna point out another cliche, or a not-cliche: The war situation has developed not necessarily to our advantage.

Winning old-school colonial wars isn't a necessarily a net benefit: Wars are expensive, wars are unpopular if enough taxes are raised and if enough people's significant others come home in caskets or as ceremonial urns...no matter how militarist you want the average joe to be. Rebuilding damaged infrastructure or building it to help settle land is a drain of resources before you can extract them or form a market, if you can. Directly administrating new acquisitions is expensive. Garrisoning troops isn't free. If you decide to cut corners and do things indirectly, that opens up another can of worms.

Oh don't worry, the nuclear proliferation and breakdown of the current one-superpower gives us a bigger chance of not having to deal with late-stage capitalism, the only drawback is that you will be dying of radiation poisoning in the ruins of what used to be your home.

Best vibe is when you embrace the decay and then paint over it with a whole bunch of in-character optimism for the future for maximum dissonance.

It's one useful way to create a monoculture and follows established IRL models. My main gripe about it is that a good many of the nations that have rich deposits of petroleum and natural gas also usually have well-developed industries and a social and political culture that, by rights, they shouldn't have - to the point that they're not monocultures at all. They tend to have more in common with the US, Russia, or Thicc Norway than Saudi Arabia, the UAE, or Qatar.

I've been contemplating the next season of my life for a few weeks now. I could worry about unfulfilling good byes and paltry words for a hundred more weeks, but I suppose this will suffice. If your eyes should happen upon this signature, I pray that you will find love, happiness, and righteousness with each morning that you rise and each evening that you sleep, secure in the knowledge that you are deeply worthy of such wondrous and beauteous things.

Yeah you're right, we're going to die of radiation poisoning anyway. I've come to the conclusion that the annihilation of civilization and the near-extinction of the human race is a small price to pay to avoid late-stage capitalism.

All systems have an end. Capitalism's going to die quite gruesomely and spectacularly, and some think soon. For many, that's a reason for panic. For me, it's great lorewriting opportunity.

What you just said was not political incorrect, you didn't use a single slur. Also I think late-stage capitalism is like when monopolies own everything, but I prefer to use the term "plutocracy" or "corporatocracy" because I'm not the biggest fan of the term "late-stage capitalism".
